I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Wasn't it beautiful?! We went on some very long walks and I managed to squeeze in several photo sessions in the breathtaking late afternoon light.

Things are definitely beginning to warm up and the freckles are starting to appear! Colours everywhere are slowly beginning to pop - we've been enjoying the incredible bluebell woods all around us, as well as the many fields of rape which dot the landscape as far as the eye can see. Without doubt it's my favourite time of year; both the boys were born around now, and we got married in May as well!

If it's colour and warmth you're after then why not book one of my mini sessions in the lavender fields in July? They provide the most stunning backdrop and the children love it; the smells, the sound of the buzzing bees, the sea of purple - they are always amazed!

This year I'm holding them at the Lavender Fields in Hampshire, close to Alton, on Tuesday 12th July and Monday 18th July. It's only 45 miles from London and takes no more than an hour. These 35 minute long sessions are suitable for families with up to 2 children and cost £50 each.

Times available are:

Tuesday 12th July - 9.40am, 10.15am, 11.25am, 1pm, 1.35pm

Monday 18th July - 10am, 10.35am, 11.10am, 11.45am, 12.15pm

To book your session simply contact me with your preferred time. If it rains, the session will be rescheduled to the following day at a similar time (though not necessarily the exact same time) so please make sure that you're available then as well.

What is included in the session?- 25 minute photography session with up to 2 children- My 'Work with me' PDF guide packed with info on how to prepare and what to expect at our session- My time editing and preparing the images to a high standard- Online gallery with 15 edited images (accessible for 6 days)- The location fee that the Lavender Fields charge

Afterwards you'll be able to buy prints, frames or digital images, and I'll be with you every step of the way to help you decide what will look beautiful. Please contact me directly for my comprehensive mini session price list.

So if you want to refresh your family photos, or know of anyone who might be interested, please share this with them. It's a wonderful, quick and cost efficient way to bring a little colour and love to your home!
